Righteousness is Balance

An atom is made of protons, electrons and neutrons 

The number of positively charged protons equal the negatively charged electrons 

An imbalance between the sheer numbers of protons and neutrons and electrons leads to an unstable atom

The universe operates on an unwritten rule of absolute stability 

So does nature 

Stability is composed of polar opposites of like and unlike forces 

Night and day 

Creation and destruction 

Birth and death

For the existence of a universe it’s forces need to be an absolute balance of both halves 

An imbalance or disproportion leads to chaos and widespread instability 

In Hindu philosophy the forces of both positive and negative must exist ideally in balance 

It’s the basic Universal rule which is absolute 

And non negotiable 

The “good” Devas exist alongside the “evil” Asuras 

Inherently both Devas and Asuras pray to the absolute Bhraman (“God” in the terms of a non spiritual layman), to grant them victory.

A non Hindu practitioner would laugh so as to why a God would answer the prayers of an Asura

Since western thought has always been innately primitive in its classification of “good” and “bad” they failed to comprehend the sense of balance 

Asuras have been ordained to be “negative/devious/evil” just as Devas have been ordained to be “positive/noble/good”

But there have been Asuras who’ve won accolades more than the “noble” Devas

And an Asura isn’t a sinful being as an Asura is merely acting out on how he/she has been created

Just as a mosquito isn’t “sinful” for harbouring disease and biting you. It’s merely doing what it has been ordained to do.

That being said, neither is a Deva “pious” 

A Deva is merely doing what he/she can in view of their innate nature 

The role of “God” here is balance and justice 

If the pride of Devas and their sheer number, outnumbers Asuras He/She shall grant victory to Asuras 

If the tyranny of Asuras and their number overpowers the Devas He/She shall grant victory to the Devas 

And this event shall be cyclic, from eon to eon.

Nature shuns imbalance and abhors asymmetry

And thereby so does the universe 

Followers of various religions envision a day where their religion shall be the dominant religion of the entire earth 

But in a massive insult to their own egregious oversight owing to their dogmatic belief system, that day shall never come.

Because it’s in violation of the law ordained by the Universe

An entity far greater than the little book they believe in.

The universe exists in a system of a heterogeneous environment

It’s the like and unlike aspects of this heterogenous environment that in the end creates the stable homeostasis of the universe 

An atom cannot be composed of only protons

Similarly there is no such thing as one gender, there are two polar opposite genders 

And thus in an absolute affront to their respective messiahs, the earth will NEVER have just one religion or a belief system 

Nature shuns homogenisation as much as it shuns asymmetry

A whole being can only exist when two polar halves of opposite natures conjoin together.

Coming to the Hindu aspect of Karma

Even Karma is balance 

There is negative and positive Karma 

And both need to exist in their own equal numbers 

Of all the promises made by different Gods of different religions, the promise of MahaVishnu on the field of the Mahabharata war stands out 

“Whenever there is decay of righteousness, O Bharata, And there is exaltation of unrighteousness, then I Myself come forth ; For the protection of the good, for the destruction of evil-doers, For the sake of firmly establishing righteousness, I am born from age to age”

People bemoan that God is non existent as evil exits and good suffers 

What they fail to see that evil also is eliminated and the good also obtains victory from time to time

“God” created “evil” with the same cosmic intent of creating “good”

Gods “job” isn’t the creation of a homogenous cosmic utopia of perpetual positive elements 

This would be a failure of the universal law of balance and the heterogeneous law of equilibrium between two unequal forces

Gods “job” is to maintain and sustain balance 

Hence MahaVishnu declared inherently that he shall “Restore Balance” if unrighteousness “exceeds” the sheer numbers and aspects of righteousness 

He never mentioned that all of righteousness shall disappear and all of the unrighteous shall be eliminated 

He will ONLY appear when there is a state of imbalance to restore balance 

Until then the world shall exist in a state of perpetual equilibrium 

This applies to even Karma 

Karma is merely equilibrium and a state of justice 

Prophesy states that yes, there will be a time when the universe again dissolves onto nothingness 

What shall prompt this dissolution is unknown 

But this has occurred before 

And shall happen again 

But that day is not today 

And when it dissolves into non existence, 

by the will of the maker it shall reappear 

And when it does, it shall reappear with its positive and negative elements of Devas, Asuras, light, darkness etc 

If I were you, I’d concentrate less about focusing piety and sin, and more on realising the fact that you’re merely a particle ordained to perform a certain function based on the will of the universe to maintain equilibrium 

Far be it for me to say which part of the positive or negative spectrum you fall in.

That is for the Universe to decide.
